First Aid Measures

Ingestion
Do NOT induce vomiting. Allow the victim to rinse his mouth and then to drink 2-4 cupfuls of water, and seek medical advice.
Inhalation
Remove to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Skin
Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash with soap and water.
Eyes
Flush with water for at least 15 min., lifting lids occasionally.

Handling and Storage

Storage
Store in a cool, dry place. Keep container closed when not in use.
Handling
All chemicals should be considered hazardous. Avoid direct physical contact. Use appropriate, approved safety equipment. Untrained individuals should not handle this chemical or its container. Handling should occur in a chemical fume hood.

Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Personal Protection
Wear safety goggles and appropriate protective gloves and clothing.
Respirators
Wear a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved full-facepiece airline respirator in the positive pressure mode with emergency escape provisions.
Exposure Effects
Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin.

Fire Fighting Measures

Flash Point
74
Autoignition
204
Fire Fighting
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. In case of fire, use water, dry chemical, chemical foam, or alcohol-resistant foam.
Upper exp. limit

2
Incompatibilities
Incompatible with strong oxidizing , reducing agents, many amines, nitrides, azo/diazo compounds, alkali metals, and epoxides.
Stability
Stable under normal temperatures and pressures.
Decomposition
Hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide, irritating and toxic fumes and gases, carbon dioxide.
Combustion Products
Irritating vapors and toxic gases, such as hydrogen chloride and carbon monoxide, may be formed when involved in fire.
